HAiR CHRONiCLES: Protective Styling #1

So as you all know, I am on a RELAXED journey.  And for those that follow me on Hairlista, you know that I'm trying my hardest to rock MY hair in low manipulation/protective styles (no weaves, wigs, etc- for now! lol).  So I went out and bought some orange flexi-rods to do a loose wave style.  It was an epic FAiL!!! lol.  I only used 10 rods...

I am nine weeks post-relaxer and I did it on 100% air-dried hair so my ends were a little poofy.  The next time I try the flexi-rod set, I will blow dry my hair so that my ends are straighter or do it a few weeks post-relaxer.  Anywho, I put a little hump in the front and pulled it up into a messy pony...

(I thought the results were cute...just can't wait til I get more length!)

This is a cute summer style.  I would rock this with big dangly earrings, halter tops, tank tops, etc.  I liked that it showed off my facial features and I liked to show off my makeup with this look:
